Just purchased acer aspire...... does not accept wireless router . all details entered right.

Your router is a separate hardware
its the device that allows you to have internet
usually a small box, the wpa should be there on the router thats a password to access the
wifi network, if its not on a sticker call your service provider and also verify that your router has wifi

While it doesn't have a built-in router, it DOES have a wireless adapter built in. So if you were to purchase your own router (or rent one from your ISP), the computer would work fine with it.
More details on your computer here:

can u see the wireless icon in the taskbar near the time?if not, try 2 right click my computer, then manage, device manager, and see under network adapter the wireless adapter, maybe it doesn't exist or is not recognized, or maybe it has a yellow mark with a question mark in it, if its the case, then you'll need to find and install the driver, all these assuming that your new aspire is wireless capable

does your wirless have a password?

if you do then you will need to enter the password to connect to.

if you have purchased the laptop from somone else, you will need to remove their settings, by going into intenet options, connections and then lan settings

you need to reinstall driver of your wireless card. since other laptop can connect to the router. make sure also that the WEP/WPA key is correct, if theres any.

You will need to log into your router create a new wep key. See your manual or the Netgear website for details.

First make sure the wireless card driver in the computer is installed and the wireless is enabled and working.
